I've got my Bayberry candle ready for New Year's Day. My mother, sister and I have burned them for years on New Year's Day. You have to light it and then let it burn itself completely out. Does anyone else burn one?

The saying goes (there are variations on this):

"A bayberry candle burned to the socket brings health to the home and wealth to the pocket."

I'd like to know where to find a bayberry candle as well. I looked everywhere during my December shopping and couldn't find one. The mall I regularly shop at used to have a Yankee Candle store but it's gone now and didn't move to a different location. Where does one find a bayberry candle?

My family has done this tradition for years. We burn one on Christmas Eve and the other on New Year's Eve. The bayberry candles come in a set of two, one for each eve. The story is usually on the back of the box or a little paper inside with the tapers. This year I actully got mine at Hallmark. They had a small display of them. Also, on Christmas Tree Hill.com or Colonial Candle.com also sells them. Just type in bayberry candle story or something like that and the right ones will come up. It is a nice tradition. Started with my Nana. She would buy them for all of her children and then as the grandchildren got married she bought for them too. Our tradition has always been that you can not buy them for yourself. You can purchase them for everyone else, but someone has to either buy them for you or reimburse you the money that you spent for them.

Wow, my grocery store has little $1 jar candles and even they have bayberry. Didn't know it was so hard to find. I could see doing that more than I could eat black eyed peas and collard greens which is a Southern tradition!!
